I'm surprised no one has said the most obvious one. He's been saying in interviews this week that he doesn't really love boxing as much anymore, and that it's definitely a job now. I feel like he's setting up his excuse in advance because he knows this is a tough fight. If he loses, he can use the old "my heart just wasn't in it" excuse. I think it's a near 50/50 fight, but that's what everyone will say if he loses. I'm calling bs though. I think he just doubts himself now after a loss and another tough fight.
Even when he does exactly what his irrational haters say he won't, Donaire gets hated on. Everyone who hates on Donaire, your favorite fighter could stand to be a little more like Nonito Donaire.
